MONROVIA – The Monrovia City Court at the Temple of Justice has issued a writ of arrest against a group of individuals, including a woman identified as Vicky Gray and others yet to be identified, following allegations of aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy, and disorderly conduct reportedly committed in the Matadi Estate area of Sinkor, Monrovia.
According to court documents issued on June 24, 2026, the writ was signed under the authority of the Stipendiary Magistrate of the Monrovia City Court and directed the Liberia National Police to arrest the defendants and produce them before the court to answer to multiple criminal charges.
The complaint was filed by private prosecutors identified as Stephen Weah, Joseph C. Weah Jr., and Emmanuel Bondo, who alleged that they were violently attacked during the early morning hours of June 21, 2026, along 19th Street in Sinkor.
The complainants claimed that the defendants acted “jointly and intentionally” in an alleged attack that resulted in physical injuries, including bruises and lacerations, and that the victims were rushed to the John F. Kennedy Medical Center for medical treatment.
Court filings further allege that the accused parties conspired to assault the complainants and issued verbal threats during the incident, which prosecutors say constitutes violations of several provisions of Liberia’s Revised Penal Law, including criminal conspiracy, aggravated assault, simple assault, criminal solicitation, and disorderly conduct.
The writ of arrest instructed police authorities to apprehend the accused individuals and bring them before the court to respond to the charges in accordance with Liberian law.
However, in a surprising development following the issuance of the writ, the complainants subsequently filed a formal communication to the Inspector General of the Liberia National Police, Gregory Coleman, requesting the withdrawal of their complaint and indicating their intention to discontinue police-level proceedings.
In the letter, the complainants stated that they were withdrawing the matter from the Central Police Headquarters to proceed with court-related action, effectively shifting the case from police investigation back into judicial handling.
The withdrawal raises procedural questions regarding the direction of the case, particularly whether the prosecution will continue under private prosecution or whether the matter may be discontinued entirely depending on judicial review.
